I don't think that >winboard can automatically log all the games, though I may be mistaken. I Winboard can log PGN games, use the /saveGameFile option. For example here is a command I've used for testing: winboard -fcp "chop -hash 5" -scp "chop710 -hash 5" /saveGameFile test.pgn /matchGames 50 /timeControl 4 /timeIncrement 1 -debug Only problem is, you end up with a bunch of games but no summary of the results. Thats why I wrote PGNres, which processes the PGN file and spits out results and statistics.
